Gifts from my heart!!


My boys had wonderful teachers this year!!  I always try to do something special for the last day but with 4 teachers it can get a little spendy.... so I decided to put my talents to good use!!

First I made my yummy toffee blondies.  If you haven't had these yet, you are missing out!!  They are just amazing.  One of my best desserts.  I wrapped a huge piece in some cute paper.


Then I made caramel popcorn balls and attached a cute metal tag to it.


I made these cute fabric flower pins and attached it to a card.  On the back was this poem I wrote:


Here’s a little flower I made just for you
To serve as a reminder when you’re feeling kind of blue
Just pin it on your jacket, your purse or a bag
And remember you’re the best teacher a kid could ever have!!



Here's the quote on the front, I really like this one!!


To finish off the present, I added some huge chocolate strawberries on a cute summer plate.


Here's the finished result!!


The best part was being able to deliver these to the teachers and give them all hugs and thanks.  Kolby's teacher gave me a gift card to Cheesecake Factory and a little book with thank you notes from all of the students!!  Dallin's teacher also gave me a gift card to Fred Meyer.  I will really miss going to the school every week.  I am so excited for next year to help out again!!  I am happy for summertime though and have a lot of really fun plans for all the kids!!!  Tonight is our "End of School Celebration" which will begin with pizza, ice-cream floats and watermelon and end with a campout in our backyard.  Hooray!!!  Beth
